There is nothing wrong with Conspiracy theories, however... Conspiracy is simply a plan to deceive by two or more people. The theory part is when you assess why they are trying to deceive and what the actual truth is. How controversial is it that the government or authorities lie and are doing things quite different then they show on the surface? Conspiracy theory= theory on why they are lying and hiding the truth. Wow, so crazy.

On the other hand, purposely illogical and unlikely theories are made up to discredit the legitimate ones by association. This is a know tactic. And it is true that the term Conspiracy theory was coined by the CIA to ridicule anybody who questioned the official narrative of the Kennedy assasination. So I am both leery of anybody who tries to use the term conspiracy theory in a derogatory fashion, and leery of intentionaly absurd conspiracy theories. This thread is a little of both, using the term conspiracy theory in a derogatory fashion, but at least doing so about an absurd theory. The more legit way to handle it would be to suggest somebody was spreading wild disinfo to suggest that PG is also a wild unsubstantiated theory by association. That I would understand better without having to question the OP.
